Everybody thought last summer was insane with the amount of bike accidents. This season is gonna be way worse. The people just not paying attention to anything except their cell phones and food suck!
To the ass hat in the white mini cooper full of people attempting to drag my bike ON THE BLVD you can suck my dick and hit a tree somewhere else. I was going to call the cops but driving and using your phone is even less safe.
If I do end up finding you, you’ll know that was me . I don’t want to run over your face with my foot when you lose control in front of me or see you plow into some innocent grandma driving to bingo… I change my mind, I do.
To the ghetto fab douche with taped on tail lights. Some of us on bikes try to ride like normal people. Going around us on the left then changing lanes INTO US will result in death. If not mine then possibly yours.
I am not the asshole rider but it’s people like the small percentage of drivers mentioned here that make me want to drive “like an asshole” to be safe from you.
It’s gonna be a long summer. For anyone that rides, please be safe.
EDIT: I know this post doesn’t apply to most of this forum.
I have enough people that don’t see me in a miata.
Doesn’t make me want to ride a bike again. People have not gotten better at driving in the recent years.
I was almost run over on my bike like 4 times and I’ve driven less than an hour this week.
I wish I was so lucky while driving my VW so some cunt could total it and buy me a new car. Fat assholes on cellphones give 0 fucks about looking for bikes, they’re too busy ordering sheet pizzas and bucket wings to help obtain diabetes.
I honestly only bought the CRF because I know I’m comfortable tossing it around when needed. If off road is needed I don’t have a problem. After last year when someone brake checked me on the soft tail then randomly spiked the brakes and I had the rear locked up and stopped with my foot on there read bumper because they didn’t know I was behind them.
I hate reading shit like this. I would really like to buy a bike, but all the shit I hear of keeps me clear of them. I was hot to pick up a Ducati Monster in the next year or so, but it looks like all I’m getting is a dirt bike to putt around some local trails and what not. Oh well.
Depends on what you use your bike for. If you’re commuting then you really don’t have a choice of what kind traffic you run into. I just use mine for recreation so I try to stick to back roads. If I’m on an express way or in traffic I try to stay visible or else I will ride offensively to stay away from certain drivers.
I’ve had so many close calls on a fucking pedal power bike it’s disgusting. Just last week I was riding 62S through N. Collins. Some stupid old fuck in a Ford500 leaving a bank looks my way, looks the other way, looks my way again, and proceedes to pull right out in front of me. Now, this next part is pure Richard Krant brilliance, as I’m rolling, I unclip my right Sidi, and kick the grille with my cleat and keep right on going. I thought about it after and realized how dumb it was-I could have gotten my cleat caught in his egg crate grille and pulled myself off the bike and looked like a complete asshat, I should have thrown something at his car instead. Last year I threw more Co2 cartridges/waterbottles at cars then I can remember. Best thing EVER was hosing down some fat fuck in a van who was freaking out. Or the CUNT who pulled out in front of me in Hamburg, I launched a water bottle at her fat fuck cunt SUV, caught up to her at a light, and told her she was a stupid fucking floppy labia. Fuck stupid fucking cagers.
I agree lots of car drivers are usually occupied doing everything except driving. It’s not always their fault.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen people riding their sport bikes like total assholes and then complain when they get hit or a friend gets hit when they are going 120+.
I mean just the other day I was driving to work on the 290. I checked my mirrors to change lanes, looked back and started to merge and boom some douche on his bike passes me like I’m standing still. Good thing I was paying attention or that would have ended quite badly. And that’s not the first time that situation has happened to me.
For those of you who ride responsibly I thank you. For those who don’t… Fuck you and take responsibility not cast blame.
